once youve strained it a whole can of creamed corn gives you barely a third of a cup why isnt anyone talking about this

i think it has to do with government corn subsidies


edit you people arent getting it so ive created a diagram

creamtcorn

look at all that blue thats wasted space between the creamed corns and it takes up over half the can

    Genuinely curious: why are you straining creamed corn? If you want corn kernels, why not buy that instead?

      That’s what I’m thinking. That’s like buying buttermilk and complaining that there’s only half a stick of butter in it after you strain it!

        You can buy cans of just corn in water. Those are mostly full of corn, with water filling the space between. Creamed corn is a whole other thing, and while it has some corn kernels in it, it’s mostly meant to be eaten as-is or used as-is in a recipe. The liquid in creamed corn is not meant to be discarded.

            You’re not being punked dude. Creamed corn is a thing, you don’t strain it, and when you buy a can of it the can is full. This was a swing and a miss.

                I recommend you google creamed corn and make sure it is what you think it is. If that doesn’t clear things up then I have to assume you’re trolling now.

                  Creamed corn… you don’t strain it

                  why wouldnt you strain it dont you strain your peas and stuff

                  and when you buy a can of it the can is full.

                  FULL OF WASTED SPACE okay i get it the realist says the glass isnt half full its all the way full because its full of 50% water and 50% air but thats just semantics

                  This was a swing and a miss.

                  what

                    The cream is part of the creamed corn. You’re supposed to cook with it. It’s not a brine or something like that. It’s like how orange juice has pulp, but you don’t buy orange juice to strain out the pulp.
